KAAZ and wheel hop?

did anyone get wheel hop after installing the KAAZ LSD?
and will having drag radials and high RPM launches hurt the KAAZ?
thanks

The Kazz holds up well on High rpm launches. I've had one installed since last year when I blew apart my old diff. It was a mess.

The Kazz now has had a couple times with wheel hop at the strip with street tire. But with M&H racemaster drag radials it held up well at 7000 rpm launches. I just recently got a hold of some Mt Et Streets but the last time at the track it rained... now we are into fall... so I will have to wait til next year.

is there anything else other than KAAZ, the M2 toe link and trailing arms to reduce the wheel hop?

Yes, I also have part of the Pettit Drag Launch kit...
I 'm using a few of the Delrin bushings... not for the Diff housing though...too noisey. And the Pettit Trailing arms gave me a clunk over bumps so I removed them too.

But lower the pressure in the rear tires that sure helps
for regular street tires. I would be about down to 22 - 24 psi on the street and 18 psi on the dragstrip with my regular street tire.

Kaaz diffs do not fix wheel hop, they're an upgrade for your diff so that when you DO wheel hop, you won't blow your diff.

Getting upgraded Trailing Arms and Toe Links will help wheel hop issues.

I have the ones that K2RD makes...absolutely NO wheel hop.
